[QUOTE="Guest, post: 34408"] Are you cleaning the inside of your necks and then lubing them? I was having a similar problem with my 22BR and after cleaning necks with a brush then lubing the inside with a Q-Tip and Imperial sizing wax the problem went away. Sometimes the die will size the neck way too small then the expander ball has to work the brass real hard to expand it back to size, this is the case with my 22BR dies. You can take out the expander assembly and size one case then measure the od of the neck. The RCBS dies for my 300 RUM will size the case neck od to .333" then with the expander in place it is .335" and with a bullet seated it is .338". My 22BR die sizes the neck down .010" under the size it should be. I called the manufacturer and they said send in the die with a few sample cases and they will open the neck up. Hope this helps some. Wayne [/QUOTE]
